Bombers are a commander's best friend. High mobility and heavy damage to everything on the ground, even ostensibly anti-air units like the AA Tank, AA Missile, and lander. They'll even take a sizable chunk out of a battleship. They're a bit fragile and expensive, but if you can properly manage their strikes (or just build a whole lot of them), they'll win the map for you.
